After one school loses another student to gun violence, school leaders are having important discussions and reminding students they don’t have to get involved with the wrong crowd.
All week, students have been mourning the loss of Salaah Fleming. His picture and flowers have been left behind where he used to sit. Police say"I don’t understand how the world can be so cold as to cut short a precious life," student Chelsea Kelly said.
"He was always really chill. He was quiet and always seemed happy," student Sam Sawyer described Salaah.Chelsea Kelly added, "It hit especially close to home because this was actually a person who I sat next to in Social Studies and who I, sometimes, would help out with his work. So, it felt very odd to just, you know, process thoughts like, ‘I’m gonna go to school and I’m not gonna see him anymore.
"We have a crisis in this city. I don’t know if people are calling it what it is, but we have a severe crisis," Joyner said.and survived. He’s finishing his studies remotely. Joyner reminds students there is a cash incentive. "There’s a $100 bill that we keep every year and we show it to the children at the beginning and say it could be yours, all you need to do is give me information. If you see a gun, a knife, if you hear someone talking about fighting someone.
